Future PA,
Watch this video to learn how to ACE your Physician Assistant School Interview. The PA school interview, if done well, can increase your chances of acceptance drastically. On the other hand, if you blow it, you will most likely blow your shot at PA School.
I hope that helps. Please leave me a comment below with your thoughts or questions.
Helping you get into PA school,

Hi Dave!!
So I have been taking all of your advice when I was applying to PA programs and I’m starting to get interviews! My question is: how to look professional? The reason why I ask is because, I’m a young black woman, with natural hair. I love colorful clothes and “cute” jewelry (like cupcake earrings, owl necklaces, etc). Basically, I’m asking you what to do with myself. I want to be true to myself, but I don’t want my “afrocentric” hair to be my downfall or my red blazer and colorful jewelry. Please help.
Thank You,
Ivana

Ivana,
I agree, you should be true to yourself whenever possible. In this case, since it’s a PA Interview setting, I would be myself but toned down a bit. The natural hair is not a problem, but I would caution against being overly different with the wardrobe. You will have plenty of time and freedom to be your “true” self after you are accepted and admitted to the PA program.
